Flashback to the 1920's Inspired Tea to Raise Awareness &Funds for Black Owned Nonprofits
FORT MYERS, Fla. - Floridant -- Edison Mall working in partnerships with Edison Ford Shoppes and Edison Ford Estates will be hosting a tea set in the 1920's featuring Mina Edison (wife of Thomas Edison) and Dr. Ella Mae Piper (philanthropist, hair stylist and doctor in Fort Myers) discussing the changes in Fort Myers. The Juneteenth Celebration Tea will be held on June 19th from 12 pm to 3 pm between Entrance F (Avis) and Entrance G (LensCrafters) in front of Dillard's. A traditional tea with cakes and pastries will be prepared and served by Edison Ford Shoppes.
"We are proud to offer events and activities that bring people together to ignite the spirit of community, while supporting our local small businesses," states Brad Lunn, General Manager for Edison Mall. "Honoring events like Juneteenth, gives us all an opportunity to learn about the past and brighten our future."
The roles of Mina Edison and Dr. Ella Mae Piper will be played by Susan Tutko, Guest Services Coordinator at the Edison Ford Shoppe and LaTonga Henderson, Security Director with Allied Universal Security. These incredibly passionate and devoted women became friends around 1916 and remained friends for a number of years.
